In a December 28 Facebook posting advertising its article on the A&E network’s decision to reinstate Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson, the Denver Post called Robertson a “hate-speech spewer.” So much for an unbiased reporting of the news.

To flack its December 28 article titled, “‘Duck Dynasty’ debacle winners and losers,” by television critic, Joanne Ostrow, the Post threw up a blurb on Facebook saying that A&E “welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson” back to the show.

“The feathers are no longer flying,” the Facebook blurb reads. “For now, the “Duck Dynasty” debacle is settled. The network, A&E, has welcomed patriarch and hate-speech spewer Phil Robertson back into the fold. So who were the winners and losers in this sad episode?”

Many of the comments on the Facebook page take the Post to task for its extreme bias.

A fellow named Mehedi Saad, for instance, slams the paper saying, “I’m about as liberal as it gets and calling him a hate speech spewer is f**ked up and unprofessional. Everything he said was taken out of context and blown out of proportion.”

Someone who relatively accurately paraphrases the New Testament is considered to be a “hate speech spewer.” We’ve come a long way, baby, and I’m afraid it was all down hill.

Just wait. Another dem administration and you will find that most Christian religious viewpoints will be banned, or effectively so.

[edit] of course, I would suggest that the characterization of Christian religious views as hate speech is actually a form of hate speech itself.

Nope! It’s all uphill from here on out.

The Denver Post article simply adds to most obvious fallout from the Duck Dynasty/A&E affair is that the hate speech comes from the left end of the political spectrum.
It does hearten me to see that at least some Facebook followers and readers of this “newspaper” are not fooled.

Wonder how Ostrow views comments made by Shakedown Jackson and Al Sharpton. Probably something about their comments being “highly nuanced”.

“No, I don’t. It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have to care about what you think.”

“Well, you’re JUST as bad as the H8ers! You’re bad, bad, bad, because you don’t CARE!”

“And I don’t care about your opinion. Fuck off.”

The only power the shrieking idiots have is their visibility and the willing compassion of others. Whether that compassion is warranted or not is for those who pay attention to them to determine, but I’m a lot more inclined any more to think that the professionals who demand I be as offended as they are about something trivial are best off ignored.

And that’s what I think really pisses them off about the Duck Dynasty folks – the media folks who shriek loudest about their supposed hate speech are the people who’s opinions the DD folk care least about, and they can’t STAND that their opinions don’t matter.

Because if they don’t matter they’ve got no relevance, and their self-respect and self-image is tied intimately to their relevance. Take away that, and their egos implode.

I think it is long past the point of shrill. Even gay groups have begun to question this one. For accusations of racism it passed that point a long time ago, outside liberal echo chambers.

Jews control the media and they control America. Jews also hate Jesus and Christianity. Welcome to Jewish communism America.

The truth is antisemitism? Go ahead and delete my comment. I’ve got lot’s of other sites that I go to and spread the truth. Anti-Semites are just people that Jews do not like, and they definitely don’t like people who criticize them and expose to everyone that they control all white countries. You can kiss my ass Rodney you fucking goof.
